The Details. We start at 11 am we play 7 rounds of 7 boards matches each round will take up to 50 minutes. This event is suitable for players at all levels as who you play in the next round depends on your score so far; so you quickly start to play opponents of a similar ability. Players will get masterpoints for every match you win and extra masterpoint awards for those finishing in the top third. There will be a trophy for the winners to keep for the year. We will finish by 6pm.

There will be free coffee and biscuits available from 10:45 till 15:00. You are welcome to bring your own food. There is a Coughlans Bakery 50 yards away which serves a variety of goodies.
